US Customs and Border Patrol agents uncovered 1,423 pounds of
what is believed to be marijuana hidden in a shipment of coconuts
crossing the US-Mexico border at the Pharr International Bridge,
near McAllen, Texas, the CBP said in a release on Thursday.

CBP officers at the crossing inspected a tractor-trailer hauling
a commercial shipment of coconuts with both nonintrusive imaging
inspection and canine teams, ultimately uncovering 2,486 packets of the suspected drug mixed in
with the coconuts.

The drugs, with a reported value of $285,000, were seized, and Homeland Security
Investigations special agents are pursuing the case.
